alpha sprites still wont work
Author
I tried
// Set up alpha testing
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHATESTENABLE, TRUE);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHAREF, 0);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHAFUNC, D3DCMP_GREATER);
// Intialize Alpha Blending
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, TRUE);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_BLENDOP, D3DBLENDOP_ADD);
i set d3dfmt_A8R8G8B8 instead of X8R8G8B8
I made 32 bit bmp with A8R8G8B8 settings from photoshops.
still in directX it wouldn't make it tranparent it still an image with an opaque background rather than invisible one

now that i tried what you asked, it still doesn't work.
Compiler accepts them anywhere but in initDirect3D function, just weird!
it doesn't work with setTextureStageState
also for an info this is 2D image. just plain image of a fish and i want the background to be INVISIBLE!!!!
how do you accomplish such a feat?

Hi there busyMe,
How are you doing?
The Problem
Alpha sprites not rendering.
The Solution
Here are a few suggestions
1) Have you created an image with some transparency/alpha component included and saved it in the correct format. try. .png, .bmp
2) Are you rendering the sprites in the correct order. First you should render the solid objects and then the sprites.
3) First try some alpha blending such as
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(ALPHABLENDENABLE, TRUE);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA);
d3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA);
I hope some of this helps. It's a bit early here. so I might have said some twisted things ;) have a great day bud.

how do I post my code in seperate window?
I just don't understand, thank you for your feedback and help but it's still not working.
I will include my code here... CPP

THATS it, notice that i removed the ALPHATESTENABLE because they don't work, I tried in initDirect3D and it won't let me compile. If I put it in other functions it will let me compile but it doesn't do anything.

maybe ID3DXSprite library will help
so i included ID3DXSprite spDraw;
then i included spDraw->Begin(D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND);
the thing is that i can't compile the Begin function what am i missing here

my initDirect3D looks like this..
[/source]
where should I the ALPHABLENDENABLE or where should I ID3DXSprite functions?

It looks like you're saving your artwork as .BMP files. BMP files don't include any alpha data. Use another format, like TGA or PNG.
